The Portal to Beyond: Chapter X
A little while after the large meal was consumed, Goku remembered that he had yet to go get Trunks. So he quickly excused himself from the table and locked onto the boys ki. A few seconds later, he reappeared in front of the Kame house on Master Roshi's island.
"Trunks! Time to go! I think your father has calmed down by now!"
Krillin came out of the house with a curious look on his face, but just sighed when he saw Goku.
"He's out back with Roshi." was all he said before going back inside. Goku had told him all about who he was.
Goku went on back only to be shocked by the sight of Trunks and Roshi side-by-side looking at porno.
"Master Roshi!" Goku gasped. "Why are you messing with Trunks' mind like that?" I should have know it was a mistake to leave him here!
"What? A little nudity never hurt anyone!"
"The boy is 8."
"I knew far more at his age!"
Goku rolled his eyes and took the magazine from Trunks' wide eyes. "See! He's traumatized!"
Trunks looked up at him solemnly and said in an awe filled voice, "I never knew someone could bend so many ways!"
Roshi covered his mouth with his hand and started to laugh silently. Goku just sighed heavily. Bulma was going to kill him when they got back.

"We're back!" Goku announced cheerfully as he and Trunks walked through the front door. The latter was scanning the room nervously for a sign of an irate Vegeta. There was none. He sighed in relief.
Trunks shut the door and nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw Vegeta standing behind it.
"Hello son," Vegeta said softly. Trunks narrowed his eyes and got into a defensive stance. An angry Vegeta was dangerous, a quiet Vegeta was just downright deadly.
"Why are you so defensive? I just wanted to say I was sorry."
That really caught him off guard. Sorry? Such a word was not in Vegeta's vocabulary.
"What are you up to?" Trunks said a little shakily.
"Nothing, nothing at all." He stepped forward and with each step, Trunks took a huge one back. Then he was surprised when Vegeta lunged at him, he put up his hands to guard his face when he felt Vegeta's arms wrap arouns him. Trunks froze, afraid for his life.
"I just wanted to hug you."
Trunks relaxed slightly, but that was just enough for Vegeta to get him. He pulled a hypodermic needle -- as soon as Goku saw it, he took off -- and plunged it into his back.
"Wha?" Trunks said weekly as he felt the world growing faint.
"Just a little payback," Vegeta hissed into his ear as Trunks' world faded to black. Vegeta picked him up and put him on the couch.
Goku reappeared in the doorway. "Vegeta," he began in a scolding tone, "that wasn't at all nice."
"And? It'll wear off soon." Vegeta walked to the staircase smirking, looking like he just had the time of his life. "That'll teach him to let his guard down."
Goku shook his head. Vegeta sure did have weird ways of teaching lessons.
***
Trunks woke the next day feeling like he had gotten trampled by the Eternal Dragon. His head felt just like the time when he decided to sample his Tousans secret stash of Jack Daniels. Trunks yawned and tried to stretch, but all he felt was pain. He tried to clear his fuzzy head and he remembered what had happened.
"I am going to kill him!" he powered up to Super Saiyan and stomped downstairs. He passed Goten on the way down.
"Look! It's sleepin' beauty!" Goten then saw the look on his face and pointed. "He's down there."
Trunks nodded briefly and made his way to the kitchen where his Tousan, Raditz, Kakarott, Gohan, and Goku were stuffing their faces while both ChiChi's looked on.
"You. Me. Outside. Now." Trunks growled at him while he jerked his thumb at the back door.
Vegeta looked up from his full plate and smirked. "As you wish brat." Vegeta stood and proceeded to lead the way.
"You gotta go far away from the house so that ki blasts won't be a problem!" Goku yelled as he followed them excitedly. All those who could fly quickly followed suit.
"What about me?!" the older ChiChi yelled.
"It'll be safer here!" Goku yelled to her.
"You're staying too," Kakarott said to the younger one.
"Aw come on! Please let me go," ChiChi gave him what she hoped was an irresistable expression. It apparently was for Kakarott sighed and nodded.
The younger ChiChi turned around to look at the other. "I won't be so bad. I'll tell you who wins, okay?"
ChiChi nodded though she already knew the victor.

{authors note (if you actually thought I'd get through a story without one, you don't know me very well): I'm going to try the fight thing again, so don't laugh at it!}
Trunks and Vegeta stopped about a 10 minute flight away from ChiChi's house. They stood on the ground facing each other as the spectators settled in to watch the fight. Oh, they knew it was going to be brief (all except ChiChi), but they hoped anyway.
Goku stepped between them. "We need some rules. This is not a fight to the death, but that doesn't mean to not give it your all. Anything goes and you have an hour to knock each other senseless." Goku nodded grimly. "Let the match begin." As soon as he stepped away, Trunks launched himself at his father and began the arduous task of trying to break through his defense. He feinted to the left and the right and surprised Vegeta by going ducking and going between his legs and kicking him from behind, knocking him down.
He didn't wait for Vegeta to recover, however, he launched a series of ki blasts at him, each more powerful than the last. Anger fuels great battles.
Trunks stopped, not a scratch on him, not even winded and glared at his fathers prone form. "Are you going to give up? Or do I have to beat on you some more?"
Vegeta struggled to his feet, a little tired but that was all and put on his best smirk. "Not on your life, brat. Not on your life. I will not stop until I can not move any longer or until you kill me and I know neither will happen!" He powered up quickly, making small stones levitate into the air and focused his energy into his palm. "YOU WILL NEVER WIN!!" Vegeta let loose a powerful bright yellow, beam that almost hurt to look at. Instead of running, Trunks tried to block it which ended up with him being thrown back about one hundred feet and panting. He moved into SSJ2 and waited.
Vegeta, who had already moved into level one, now shifted into 2 as well.
After Trunks had gotten the best of him, Vegeta's defense was back in place and better than ever. It took all of Trunks' strength just to block him. He really didn't have time to worry about attcking as well.
"Do you give?" Vegeta asked about 9 minutes later.
"NO! I WON'T EVER GIVE UP!!" he sped at him again hoping to catch him off guard. "HA!" he threw a semi-strong blast directly at Vegeta's face. As the latter brought his hands up to block it he left his mid-section defenseless. Trunks took complete advantage of this and continued to beat on him until he knocked him out.
"YEAH! I AM THE WINNER! I AM THE BEST! I AM--"
"Trunks!" Goten shook him. "Look!"
Trunks then saw how much damage he did. Vegeta had bruises and burns covering most of his body. He also had a *very* nasty gash in his leg from colliding with a mountain.
"What have I done?" Trunks asked himself in awe. He had never even came to close to beating his father before.
"That sure was different." Goku walked over to the shorter saiyan and lifted him into his arms. "I'll teleport back and give him a senzu bean. Trunks, I think you better head back home. If he was mad before, he's enraged now!"
"Okay Goku. Are you coming Goten?"
"Yeah. I guess I will. See you later ChiChi, Tousan, Uncle Raditz, Kakarott, Niichan."
Trunks got the communicator from Gohan and turned it on. "Kaasan?"
"Yes Trunks?" Bulma's voice came out rather static filled.
"Me 'an Goten are coming back."
"Without the others? Why-- You made your father mad." It wasn't a question, more a dry statement.
"Well yeah..."
"You can come hideout at home then. I'll open up a portal by the Capsule Corp. See you at home."
"Please tell us when he calms down because we really want to come back!"
"We will." Gohan said.
"Saiyans honor?" Goten asked.
"Saiyans honor."
"Okay! Let's go Trunks!" the two boys flew off.
"Well let's get him home and tied up. He's sure to be grumpy when he wakes up."
"Oh? How will you tell?" Gohan asked. "That's nothing new."
They went towards ChiChi's house soon after.
